This App helps find and identify plants. When you give the App information about a plant, such as its location, flower color and the time of year, the App will quickly show you which plants match your selections. The App includes 2,934 species of plants found in Montana. Overall, 1,680 are "Wildflowers", 183 are shrubs, 62 are broadleaf trees, 21 are conifers, 16 are vines, 5 are cactus, 408 are grass-like, 77 are fern-like, 263 are moss-like and 284 are lichen.
Been recommending it for years!
I guide plant and flower walks and help people of all experience levels learn to identify plants. This isn’t the only tool I use but it is way more accurate than the Seek by iNaturalist app (which I also love but rarely trust more than a family or genus level ID). I adore that this app essentially lets me query a database with all the information I have about the plant. It also lets me search for the plant or group of plants I am looking for, and it includes shrubs and trees. My only gripe is that the pictures are often not great, I could use more close-up leaf pictures for instance - but for a free app that doesn’t purchase copyrighted photos, I can’t expect more of it!
Great app for College
I used this app to help me learn to identify plants for Rocky Mountain flora at UM. Really helped me identify and memorize for exams.
Very easy to use
Great! The many criteria available narrow your search down to seconds. Great pictures. Includes location info and can use your location and time of year and elevation to show what is common near you.
